NARCISSUS BULBOCODIUM 'TENUIFOLIUS'

Nearly a week ago, I found this little beauty, Narcissus bulbocium 'Tenuifolius' in the Alpine House at the Royal Horticultural Society gardens in Harlow Carr.  This image reflects the exact colour.  Such a rich yellow.






Narcissus bulbocodium 'Tenuifolius'

Narcissus bulbocodium 'Tenuifolius' is a vigorous, spring-flowering bulb which grows to a height of 8-15cm (3-6in) and thrives in moist turf in full sun.  The example which I photographed above was growing in a pot within the Alpine House.  According to the label, it is a native of West Europe and North Africa.
